Jacob Lawrence:
Three Series of Prints

January 26 - May 4, 2008 

Featuring 44 works including 31 color prints and 13 text pages from the the series Eight Passages for The Book of Genesis, Hiroshima, and Toussaint L'Overture, this exhibition offers a sampling of the work of Jacob Lawrence, among the best-known African-American artists of the 20th Century.  Incorporating the figure of Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L’Ouverture, Mr. Lawrence’s work invokes the power of liberation narratives, showing his strong grasp of social injustice, nationally and internationally, while maintaining fantastic artistic integrity.
